Average nolita building
Pros
Great neighborhood, quiet neighbors, recently renovated apartments
Cons
Garbage area was quite bad (restaurant on the first floor led to many rats). Dealt with mice and roaches in the apartment. Air conditioning/heating units (one per bedroom, none in living area) made electric bill pretty expensive
Expensive + terrible bldg management, but in a great area
Pros
-in a great area, heart of nolita -some updated units with decent appliances -online payment system
Cons
-bad trash management -dirty / not well maintained common area / entrance -poor responsiveness from bldg management / maintenance; issues not fixed properly / repeat issues -packages frequently stolen -door locks frequently broken / tampered with; not a secure building (key has gotten stuck in front door of building, entire lock cylinder has fallen out of building front door, been locked in my apt unit due to bad lock) -very poor water pressure and water temperature regulation (takes 10+ minutes to get warm water some days)
Advice to the owners
-keep building cleaner and manage trash better -complete maintenance requests more promptly and thoroughly -fix doors / locks more comprehensively - keyless entry system doesn’t prevent door from being tampered with entry/exit issues (also might prevent packages from being stolen as frequently) -fix water pressure and temp issues
